A broken post I believe is what it's called. Could also be a die chip. Not an expert so don't take my word for it. Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
allsmilez632 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 12:10 pm I was also confused by that middle chunk between the bubble of the P and the bottom. That was what I thought was weird. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 12:17 pm Note on the image I posted. On the mint mark you can see die flow lines that start above the mint mark, travel over and below it also. That is probably what caused the same thing on your coin, or it could be an old die scratch that the flow line enhanced. But with way it is not a premium for the coin. Just a "Die event."
